This reduced change comes on the heels of the CT DPH’s updated notice on Friday, December 31, 2021 approving school districts the choice to follow the CDC’s updated guidance on December 27, 2021. This practice has the approval of the Archdiocese of Hartford, Center for Education & Formation.
This updated practice will go into effect immediately and supersedes any previous correspondence. Furthermore, the practice applies to student-athletes as the new benchmark when to enter into CIAC “Covid-19 Return to Play” protocol which you can find in the December 31, 2021 email. Do not hesitate to contact me, cdupont@spchs.com should you have any questions regarding this guidance.
For contact tracing purposes, students/parents should continue to notify the health room, Elizabeth McGuire, nurse, elizabethmcguire@bristolct.gov , Ann Marie Pahl, health aide, apahl@spchs.com or me should you test COVID positive. In that case, I will notify Mr. Cooper, Dean of Academic Life to instruct your teachers to send Zoom access codes to you until you are able to return to school. Remote learning students will make-up any missed quizzes or tests when they return to in-person instruction. Non COVID-19 related illnesses will continue to be treated as a sick day.
Tomorrow is Day 4 on the academic schedule. A reminder that Monday Morning Assemblies have been suspended for the near future. Students should report directly to their A Period by 7:45 am. See you in the morning.
Stay well.
